Scheduled Interference
Phew. I am tired. Quite, very tired.
I came home from TMU today and virtually passed out on my bed. After dinner and Family Guy DVD at least.
Right now it is snowing. Not a lot. But snow is snow and it makes Plume a happy camper.
But tired, I am, yes. From TMU. It’s going well though. I managed to introduce myself without panicking. And we have started to put our schedules together. We get to decide our own schedule. Currently my schedule consists mostly of reading and computer fun. With a dabble of painting and jiggsaw puzzling. Yup. Haha. It hasn’t been approved yet, maybe they’ll try to force some heavy labour into it somewhere. But it’s really not about working hard, it’s about being there so they can get to know you and determine what your needs and capabilities are etc and so forth.
So far so good. When I left today one of the other “students” (as we are called) came and asked for help with the bus. A foreign lady. The bus situation is a little bit complicated. But I helped her out. And she said I was a very nice person. Hehe. We talked for a bit. About TMU. And our situations. She said that she couldn’t understand why I was there because I was so young. So I told her it was because of phobia and anxiety and such. It was nice to talk a little.
That is TMU. Well, it’s the main building. It’s quite a big place really. Opposite that building there’s another building. There’s the plant school. With green houses and fields. And there’s a shed or two. And a pavilion. Fancy.
But you know, let’s not forget the lambs.
That is Mini. She was fun today.
Yes she was. A couple of them have started taking raisins from my hand. It’s always funny the first time they get a taste of raisins. They get really eager and start nibbling at everything. If you were to pick them up for example they would start nibbling at your glasses and your nose and everything. Fun fun.
The new mama sheep, the one who hasn’t been at the playground before, is starting to feel comfortable too. The first days she’d back off if you came close. Now she recognises me and she knows there’s a chance for treats and she comes right up. It is always sweet to see the animals that start off nervous and scared and see how they get used to the place and start to feel comfortable with people.
Four in a row. Ain’t they sweethearts?
Okay. Back to the soccer. It’s half time. Denmark – Australia 3-0. I know some really nice people in Australia so I’ll try not to gloat. Instead I will goat. Goat, get it? Haha.
King of Comedy, baby.

It snowed here today, too. No lambs though, just about an inch of snow.
What a pretty building TMU is. Are many of your houses/buildings brick? We have a few brick houses, but most are primarily wood. Brick lasts longer, but is more expensive.
You evidently didn’t have to stand in a circle and introduce yourself. Glad to hear it went well. I think I’d be like the foreign lady with the buses. We don’t have public transportation here where I live and I’d be forever lost on which bus to take and where to get on/off. That was nice of you to help her and talk to her.
So what are some of the other students like at TMU? I suppose a person could say as much or as little about themselves as to why they were there. I was just curious, as usual. Maybe you could take in some of your playground photos. I’d bet the others there would enjoy seeing Mads and of course, THE LAMBS. (More people for you to lambinate!)
Enjoy your soccer game. Don’t be a “gloating goat”!

TMU sounds like a nice place… I’m so glad it’s going well!
I never even thought to give the goats raisins before until I saw you talk about it… I tried giving Gabby some, and she gobbled them right up! Of course, she *does* have a sweet tooth… B.J. wasn’t too sure what to think of them, but ate them anyway (of course). Hee! I shall see what they think of nuts next.

Yo, that greenhouse would totally be the place to grow some veggies for the goats. . .

I’m just about as sick as Debster’s husband, but I have been keeping up and reading all your entries. I’m glad TMU will be there to help you. I wish we had such organizations here in the States. It would give a lot of deserving people a chance of having their own lives again.
I just love the photos of the lambs. And I think you’re right: the goats are just a little bit jealous. But it’s good you give them extra attention, too.
I’ve been watching ‘Family Guy’ too. When you’re sick, you don’t do much but sleep, watch tv, and blow your nose a hudred times a day.
I laugh so much with FG which gives me a splitting headache! I love it when Peter falls down and starts to cry like a little girl.
Keep up with the good work at TMU. You’re certainly heading into the right direction.
Oh, no! I’m getting dizzy. Goats to the left of me; goats to the right of me; and lambs in front and back.
WHERE HAVE I GONE TO????
Raisins, my kingdom for raisins.
Just click your heels, together Luis Lemmings.
There’s no place like San Diego. There’s no place like San Diego.
Badges!? We don’t need no stinkin’ badges!!

Luis Lemmings, at least you’re funny when you’re sick! Very, very funny. Have you checked your temperature lately? I think you’re in the hallucination stage now.
We don’t have horoscopes like that in our daily paper. You California people are in a completely different country.
I was just getting ready to send out the search goats to see where you (LL) had been. I figured you might be sick, I have special powers like that, you know.
February 8th, 2007 at 20:27
i stole a picture of yours (not actually a picture of *you* so no worries, grandma, youre not being e-molested) to make a photo for a social experiment of sorts that we’re doing. i dont want to put the link in a public place though because of security measures against killer robots and gorillas and such and such that we need to take in this day and age. IM me @ horsemovie on aim, and i ll show it to yooo! ktnx

Debster – O joy of snow! Now all you need is a stock of lambs, then you’re set. How’s the husband doing?
TMU is sort of located out in the rural countryside in the middle of nowhere. Not all houses in Denmark are like that. …yet!
I didn’t have to stand in a circle, luckily. It was still a little nerve wracking. But I did it. Go me! The other students are a very diverse bunch. Most of them are around my age or older. There are several of “other ethnicity”. And several with some kind of physical ailments. That’s the most common problem for the others, either a physical problem or an integration/language problem. That’s what’s keeping them off the job market, which is why we’re all there.
Isn’t Luis hilarious? I think he should do standup. For the goats, maybe. They’d appreciate his sense of humour.
Laura – I am glad Gabby enjoyed the raisins! I read somewhere that goats liked them. Magnethe especially loves them. I guess she has a sweet tooth too!
Annie – That’d be awesome for realz. I want my own self-sufficient commune with goats and greenhouses.
Luis Lemmings – You crack me up Luis. My favourite FG bit is when Chris, the son, gets all upset for silly reasons and he screams and runs off. And the evil monkey, of course. I got seasons 1-4 on dvd so I’m on a major FG trip. When will I ever get time to watch the Friends DVDs?!
Love the horoscope. Especially the Benny Hill theme life flash, haha. I guess I better watch out for lightning. Funnily enough I had a dream a couple of nights ago where lightning struck outside in our yard and the whole house was sort of electrified. Eeps.
a master chocolatier square pants – I no have AIM. You have yahoo or msn? Or mail me? I am intrigued.
February 9th, 2007 at 5:00
what are you talkinng about willis? everyone has aim and live in america. nevermind then. geez. i am not interested in conversing with cavepeople.
February 9th, 2007 at 21:42
a master chocolatier square pants – You make me sad like a little duck without parents. I’ll try to catch you on AIM Express. If you’re ever on.
